1. Would you be offended if someone guessed you were 7 years older than you are?
Yeah! That would be awful.
2. Do you think people assume "professionals" have to be older than 24?
I think you're on to something there, yeah.
3. What would you do if someone guessed that far off on your age?
Tell them the truth and let them eat their guilty conscience
4. Is it better to be perceived as your actual age, or to be perceived as older/more mature? Is it better to be perceived as younger?
Depends on the situation. I love it when I'm asked for id when bying alcohol (age limit is 18, I'm 25) but when I'm working as a medical student/doctor I hate those "aren't you too young to be doing this" questions and those "and you little one, do you want to become a doctor as well" comments.
5. I should just get over it, and realize that one guy is bad at guessing ages... right?
One guy is bad at guessing ages, and you look highly professional

Are you larger than yourself maybe?

If they turn 22 later that year, I'm counting them as 22. Just a little rounding. *NM*

I try to hold off on aging... it's odd to be still in my BA while 24 years old.

That hasn't been my experience. There are many 1 year MA programs now.
